i really really wish i could fly that well

[free533]

That is awesome!! I never knew a nitro/gas plane could fly 10 minutes......that must have a big tank

[aerofreek1]

@free533 I have a nitro that can fly almost 25 minutes, not that unusual really

How much is this monster?

[EpicFlyer889]

@Danieloncarevic Dude, these "Monsters" are about over 4000 Australian dollers for everything. Probably around 1000-2000 "JUST" for the body.

Like a dream

RIP Ultimate. The plane couldn't withstand another one of those 108RPM full throttle dives and is no longer alive. Check the website photos

[wcolby1]

@frambesbuckeye This airplane is alive & well, the photos are of a previous plane that wasn't up to the challenge of this type of flying.

[frambesbuckeye]

@wcolby1 What was the difference between the two and what caused the other one to crash?

[wcolby1]

@frambesbuckeye The one that broke up was a stock build, the one that is flying now has the same paint scheme (the font on California hobbies is different) But its beefed up & most notably has flying wires all over it. And like you said, the first one couldn't stay together in a full power, 108RPM dive.

Fantastic film work! One sweet plane/pilot. Flies like i do... like i stole it. love the sound of that engine at high rmp.

[fcrcfc]

Great job flying, I have not gotten up the nerve to do it that low or fast with mine yet, may not ever. Cool vid though.

[aleupalex]

great filming!

Hi,

Great Model!!! What size motor and prop?

[bradleyban]

im an itermediate rc pilot and im curious to know why you shouldn't fly like this i thought this plane was designed for it??

Yes i did notice the modded wing wires maybe thats why he is flying it like this?

[ayrobo]

I talked to Mike McConville, the designer of this airplane, directly and asked him to watch this video, which he did. His comment was that if you value your airplane, you won't do what this guy does :-) I just got one used and was interested in knowing if I could fly like this, but I guess not. I guess this plane is modified to keep the plane in one piece.

[Habaneroe]

@ayrobo On a later date he did end up having stuctural failure and plowed it into the ground.

[moonrecal]

sorry balsa and wood or fiberglass?

thanks

bye from italy

[ferociousfrankie]

Great video Walt and great flying by Mike. I don't know how his plane stays together in those full throttle down lines.
